Don't you love when a fictional (almost always) non canon couple is a blond dude (bonus point if he's taller) + a dark haired person (bonus point if they don't have a leg/harm and have scars in their face) and their adopted daughter (bonus point if she has powers)

Muslim converts to Christianity

Ubaydallah ibn Jahsh: (d. 627) the first cousin and brother-in-law of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, Ubaydallah was one of the four ḥunafā', a group of friends who rejected idol worship and followed a form of philosophical monotheism in the years before Muhammad’s declaration of prophethood. Ubaydallah was an early convert to Islam, which resonated with his own ideas about God; during the early persecution of the movement, he and a group of other Muslims moved to the Christian kingdom of Aksum, which gave the community asylum. While he lived in Aksum, he encountered Christianity and converted to the faith, which created friction in the refugee community, ultimately resulting in his wife Ramla leaving him because of his apostasy. He died in Aksum, and his wife would later marry Muhammad. Ṣurḥān of Dwin: (d. 703-705)  Ṣurḥān was an Arab soldier stationed in Armenia in the late 650s. Armenia represented the very border of the Islamic Empire, a border that ultimately could not be controlled in the wake of the civil war that broke out in Syria. As Arab troops were recalled to fight the Umayyads, Ṣurḥān took advantage of the chaos in order to stay, having grow attached to the Armenian community. He was baptized, got married to a local woman, and had several kids with her. About forty years later, the Islamic Empire (now controlled by the Umayyads) decided to end Armenian semi-independent rule and sent a new governor to control the region. As an example for others against apostasy from Islam, the governor ordered the crucifixion of Ṣurḥān, who was forced to face southward (the direction of Mecca) as a symbolic act of submission. It is said that this cross miraculously turned eastward, the traditional direction of Christian prayer, before he died. Anthony al-Qurayshi: (d. 799) Rawḥ was a member of the Quraysh tribe, the same one that Muhammad was born into, and a possible former Umayyad who defected to the ‘Abbasid dynasty. Like many Muslim aristocrats, he lived in a monastery-palace, where he was known to harass the priest, remove the crosses, and even eat the Host from the tabernacle. One day, he decided to use an icon of Saint Theodore for target practice, but when he fired his arrow, it miraculously turned on him and shot him through the hand. This, compounded with a vision a few days later in which the Eucharist became a lamb during Mass, and an appearance by Saint Theodore himself to chastise him, Rawḥ decided to convert to Christianity. Patriarch Elias II was afraid that his conversion would cause controversy, so sent him to the River Jordan to be baptized and given the name Anthony. From there, he wandered the desert for a few years as an ascetic before returning home to Damascus; his family mocked him and demanded he revert, but he would not; he was taken before the Caliph; he was beheaded on Christmas of 799, a fate he gladly accepted in atonement for previous raids he had committed against Byzantine settlements. Renouard of Toulouse: (fl. late 8th Century) A lieutenant of Saint William Fièrebrace, who was a duke know for his conflicts with the Umayyad Emirate. Renouard was apparently a Spanish Muslim who converted to Christianity and defected to William’s side. Both figures were immortalized in the chansons de geste that circulated in 12th and 13th century France. Saint Casilda of Toledo: (fl. early 11th Century) the daughter of the ruler of Islamic Toledo, Casilda was especially known for her compassion for prisoners. She would often sneak extra bread to them. When she became ill, she made a pilgrimage to the well of Saint Vincent in Burgos, presumably at the suggestion of some of the Christian prisoners. When she was cured, she chose to be baptized and lived to be 100 while living a solitary life of prayer near the well. Zayda of Seville: (fl. late 11th Century) the daughter-in-law of King al-Mu’tamid, the last Abbadid ruler of Seville. When the Almoravids, a Moroccan reform movement known for its strict interpretations of Islam, overthrew the more lenient Muslim kingdoms of Iberia, Zayda fled to Castille, where she became the mistress of Alfonso IV. She was eventually baptized as ‘Isabel’. After this, events become a little more murky; she gave birth to Alfonso’s only son, an illegitimate child named Sancho. She may have died giving birth to him, or she may have died giving birth to another child. If the latter is the case, it is possible that Zayda and Alfonso’s wife, Queen Isabel, are the same person. If that is the case, she gave birth to two more children. Fátima of Portugal: (d. mid 12th Century) a ‘Moorish princess’ according to oral tradition, probably a member of lesser nobility. In the year 1158, she and a group of other Muslims were captured while picnicking at a river by al-Qaşr. While in captivity, Fátima is said to have fallen in love with the leader of the Christian war band, Gonçalo Hermingues. She converted to Christianity in order to marry him, taking on Oureanna (‘Golden-One’) as her baptismal name. Tragically, she died shortly thereafter, and the heartbroken knight named a town after her. Centuries later, in 1917, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three shepherd children in this town. Saint ‘Bersabei’: (d. 1480) the name given to an Ottoman officer by later Christian chroniclers. Bersabei was a member of the Ottoman force that conquered Otranto in 1480, under the command of Mehmet II the Conqueror. When the city fell in August of that year, the inhabitants were variously killed, sold into slavery, or forcibly converted to Islam. A group of 813 men who were commanded to convert refused; they were led up to a mountain now known as the Hill of Martyrs, where executioners (including Bersabei) killed them. During the mass martyrdom, the devotion of these Christians (and a miracle in which one of the martyred Christians continued to stand upright after his decapitation) caused this officer to declare his belief in their faith. He was subsequently impaled, dying alongside the martyrs of Otranto. These martyrs were canonized as saints in 2013. Omar ibn Said: (1770-1864) Born in the Imamate of Futa Toro, Omar ibn Said was captured and ‘sold into the hands of the Christians’ in 1807. He died a slave, in North Carolina. Omar ibn Said was an intelligent man who had grown up learning a variety of subjects from prominent scholars in his home region; he became famous in America for his literacy in Arabic, especially after writing on the walls of a jail cell after having been caught in an escape attempt. After being sold to the brother of the governor of North Carolina, he was supplied with both an Arabic Bible and an English Qur’an. Though he practiced Christianity, this seems to have been less a ‘conversion’ in a modern sense and more a simultaneous practicing of both Christianity and Islam (a sociological phenomenon that has a name, but I can’t remember it right now). His own Arabic writings reveal both a gratitude to the Owens family for his conversion to Christianity, as well as many invocations of blessings upon Jesus and Muhammad and quotations of the Qur’an from memory. In 1991, a mosque in North Carolina was named after him. Imaduddin Lahiz: (1830-1900) a fourth generation maulvi living in what was then Punjab, known for translating the Qur’an into Urdu and attacking the Ahmadi movement from a Sunni perspective. He converted to Christianity in 1866, along with his wife and nine children. This conversion was extremely controversial; like many converts during the colonial period, his intentions were seen as suspect and driven more by desire for material gain and affluence than a genuine faith. It reached the point where he felt the need to specify in his autobiography that he had converted ‘simply for the sake of attaining salvation’. He wrote several Biblical commentaries. Bonus: Bramimonde (Possibly 8th Century, possibly completely fictional) depicted in The Song of Roland as the wife of the ruler of Zaragoza, the city which Charlemagne attempted to seize from the Umayyad Emirate in 778. Historically, this campaign ended in a failure, with Charlemagne never again entering Iberia after the catastrophe of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. The poet of The Song of Roland, however, wrote a different ending. In this ending, Charlemagne attacks Zaragoza a second time to avenge the death of his friend Roland, in which both Bramimonde’s husband Marsile and son Jurfaleu the Blonde are ultimately killed. Bramimonde is taken captive, and whereas most of the other captives are forcibly converted to Christianity, Bramimonde’s special status as widow to a king causes her to be catechized first; she is baptized when she decides she believes, taking on the name Juliana.

Besides the shock and horror and depression and genuine concern for my personal life and the country and world in general, it finally almost broke my relationship with my mother. We’ve always disagreed politically, as well as on my lifestyle but I somehow always assumed and wondered if she was partially or completely right on issues of disagreement or at least had some good points. Occasionally in the heat of spouting talking points I’d doubt that she had any sense or knowledge at all, but once she voted for that “man” I snapped. I cancelled my trip to visit for xmas and stopped speaking to her almost completely until the petition started going around to get the electors to jump ship and when she finally signed it I decided to act like her son again as long as she never breathes another word about politics to me again. I now realize she is totally just another brain dead FOX automaton and I can’t stand seeing her that way. As long as she just talks about flowers and friends and jobs and hobbys and dogs etc I can forget what she’s become, but it came pretty close to her losing her son completely. In a way I feels like I have lost her, or at least all of my respect for Official Bleached NICU Nurse Christmas Reindeer Xmas Lights Leopard Shirt hoodie, sweater. And it’s really sad.

A personal story. My father was the only station hand on a property, the husband had no interest in the farm as he had an oyster lease on the coast. The wife rode around on her horse throwing stones at her useless dogs. Pre 1966. Their accountant said to spend 2000 pounds otherwise they would pay too much tax. My dad was probably on about 19 pounds per week. This was not 2000 pounds total income just spend cos otherwise they would pay too much tax. they bought a D2 bulldozer. When dad got his xmas bonus that year it was the same as other years. He quit. the owners panicked and offer him 10 pounds a Official Bleached NICU Nurse Christmas Reindeer Xmas Lights Leopard Shirt hoodie, sweater over the award to stay. i remember he would be stripping right up till dark on Xmas eve and back to work boxing day. No overtime in an open header and mum washed his silk shirt every night because of the chaff that got on him.

I knew from the beginning, in my mind, that I shouldn’t have allowed myself to get involved with someone who was so mentally challenged. And, at first, because I wanted him physically to such an extreme, I rationalized that he was the male equivalent to the female dumb blonde. Or, something like the John Travolta character from ‘Welcome Back, Kotter.’ But then, after a while, and only a little while, something else began to happen. I started to have feelings for him. At first, they were feelings of empathy, and wanting to protect him from the world. Then, they were feelings of just missing him… missing the way he smiled, and would pick me up and Official Bleached NICU Nurse Christmas Reindeer Xmas Lights Leopard Shirt hoodie, sweater spin me around and kiss me, and the feeling of snuggling up in those big strong arms. And then… I started to love him. Oh, woe is me. I tried to push it away, and I couldn’t. It happened so fast, I didn’t know what hit me. But even as I was sinking quickly into the quagmire of love with this man, I kept thinking… “I could never marry him. What if we had a baby, and I died or something, and he was responsible for taking care of it? The baby might need medicine one day, and it’s virtually guaranteed that he would fuck up the dosage, and possibly kill it. No, no. I can’t ever allow that to happen.”

I’m not sure whether it’s cruel or not but I have had my first dog for 10 years now. He is a chihuahua and I never used crates because I don’t feel it’s needed. What is needed is time and patience especially with puppies or any dog who doesn’t quite understand how to behave. when I got my dog I took 7 weeks off as holiday (included Xmas holidays too) I took time to train my pup and get a Official Bleached NICU Nurse Christmas Reindeer Xmas Lights Leopard Shirt hoodie, sweater started. When I went to work I got a walker to take him for half day to continue routine and socialise. It does take time and I believe crates are not needed and I don’t like the thought of them. It cost me quite some money at the start to get my dog started as London prices are high but worth it I am able to leave him home for few hours without issues, my dog never destroyed my things ever had plenty of toys and walks. Not sure how it works for big dogs as I have never had one but as first time fur mummy I think small dogs don’t need crates.

The other two were hyper-focused on their careers, had few friends outside of work, had no sports or hobbies, and even if they were married they had little romance in their lives. They saw their extended families maybe at Thanksgiving, Xmas, weddings, and funerals. They were always “too busy” to get together with friends. Their friends “understood,” so the friends included them less and less. For those two, when it became apparent that the Official Bleached NICU Nurse Christmas Reindeer Xmas Lights Leopard Shirt hoodie, sweater, chemo, and radiation were not able to save their lives, they were depressed and angry. They felt cheated and betrayed. They regretted not having spent the time and energy to develop more and deeper friendships and having postponed doing all the things they’d told themselves they would do at some point in the future when they “had more time”.
